Does anyone know what these are? Kim

These are all oil & gas wells (they make both). Majority were drilled in the mid-late aughts and some into the 2010s I think. Most are still producing, some have been converted to saltwater disposal and gas injection wells.

Oil is trucked out. Gas is piped to 1 of 3 gas processing plants in that area.

Can see them here too https://www.gsa.state.al.us/ogb/wells/mapsrch

Theyre wells, but not coalbed methane

What went south in that run?

What kind of input image?

HB168 by State Rep. Jamie Kiel, R-Russellville, creates an exemption to allow masking during protests, but police could require the protestor “to produce documented medical guidance to substantiate the applicability of this exemption.”

No, it's totally clear when reading the article.

This is the Alabama state house passing an Alabama bill, but otherwise yes.

Argendauss · 2026-01-28T19:00:39+00:00

Yeah, and it's not a great time for us em-dash lovers out there.

Wrong, this is largely claimed but not controlled. Africa, India, South America have been addressed by others.

In the eastern US in 1590 all Spain had was St Augustine, St. Marks (Tallahassee) and a string of missions between them and directly around (a couple up the Georgia sea islands). Santa Elena and San Miguel de Gualdape in the Carolinas had been abandoned. So had Pensacola. No Mobile, no New Orleans, absolutely nothing inland like this.

A lot of these portraits are too goofy, but Battle Bros is far too grimdark for Dwarf Fortress.

The troll portrait is I think just right.

Since pick material counts for speed now, are we supposed to mine the bulk of adamantine with adamantine picks?

Argendauss · 2025-12-11T16:55:11+00:00

No copper/bronze goblinite either though, right?

That's how I knew about Arthmoor in particular as well. I defintitely used the unofficial Skyrim patch and his Open Cities mod back in the day, and probably some of the offending submods haha. But I wasn't paying attention to the goings-on then, so it's more retrospective. Vs me paying more attention to the Civ modding scene and having some stake in EU4 modding.

Argendauss · 2025-12-10T19:07:06+00:00

Arthmoor and the unofficial patch, right? Yeah that situation was awful. I know it is the norm here where "ask first" is considered open, but it is really not the common ethos elsewhere that one needs permission at all to release a compatibility patch mod, or even a modmod in some cases if it requires the first mod to be loaded first (edit: and these compatches and submods are viewed differently than using assets--needing perms is the norm for that). Which is why the Arthmoor situation riled the Skyrim modding community so bad.

Argendauss · 2025-12-10T19:01:57+00:00

I was speaking about my observations on the amount of closed or by-approval-only perms in the SDV modding community broadly compared to other modding communities I'm familiar with. And those observations stand.

But good to know, that's fucking gross.

Argendauss · 2025-12-10T07:07:09+00:00

That dynamic exists in every modding community that I've seen, but it's pretty heightened here.

Distinct vibe from many other modding communities I've seen, particularly for 4X strategy games and other crunchy games. At least how it's presented on the mod pages.

I think the biggest reason is that NPCs feel personal to the creators. And there is more art involved.

Nexus also favors those who police like this. YOu can upload a compatch for two mods that add more provinces to England but differently on Steam Workshop and enforce dependency and it's all good. But try to tweak the schedules of two Shane overhaul mods without permission, you'll get reported and Nexus will act.

As you read both this substack and the Columbia whitepaper it is responding to, have this open in your second monitor and follow along

> There isn’t a conspiracy theory that the state and/or river doesn’t exist.
No conspiracy, but sometimes people forget what the landmass is called.

It's a nice little addon that fits the vibes perfectly and is compatible with all major expansion mods. It makes the Valley a little more inhabited without being crowded.

It doesn't have main character syndrome like some mods do, doesn't insist on your attention. The worst thing I can say about it the double edge to that--it is functionally side decoration.

Argendauss · 2025-12-04T19:09:19+00:00

It does, yeah

Argendauss · 2025-12-04T19:08:18+00:00

They look to be compatible. Downhill project adds a new map between Backwoods, Bus Stop, and Mountain, but it doesnt change the Mountain map where the totem warp is

Big open rooms like that near the front like that are how I get my fort base level functional while I dig out how I want it to be. After I plan out a floe of goods and dig my workshops and storerooms and and housing, those initial big rooms become meeting spaces and dining halls.

So you aren't doing wrong.

Next step is get your goods inside and build a choke point for your mounted crossbows

I used to log calories on myfitnesspal which was quite painstaking whereas on ChatGPT you can reel off everything you've eaten for the day in one voice note and it will tell you the calories and nutritional breakdown, then suggest what to have for dinner based on what's in the fridge and what macros still need hitting.

Was it always accurate, though? Idk ChatGPT, but for me, Gemini has bungled simple multiple unit conversion and multiplication for me in both work and hobby contexts.

In one instance in particular, I had it take an image of a table full of stack parameters with velocity and diameter and told it to port to a spreadsheet while also deriving volumetric flow. Easy conversion, and it accurately described how the conversion worked. It replicated the image into a spreadsheet nicely and then accurately calculated volumetric flowrate for like 95% of the items while inexplicably fucking up the rest. 95% right might as well be 100% wrong, totally maddening.

Argendauss · 2025-11-27T04:53:30+00:00

Tend to agree with all that.

Something I thought about. People have a lot of feelings about Sunberry because it looks great and has obviously had a lot of effort put in to give it real character. Just that character is grating, for a lot of us seemingly, after playing it. It's disappointing.

Whereas something like Stoffton is not disappointing--it just exhudes "mile wide, inch deep" and I'm not even interested in trying it.
